Change of Status Information

If you are currently in the U.S. in a nonimmigrant status other than F-1 or M-1 and are interested in attending Ozarks Tech, you may need a change of status to one that legally authorizes you to study in the U.S.

If you meet international student admission requirements, Ozarks Tech is certified to issue Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status, that is essential to be eligible to file for a change of status to either F-1 or M-1.

You will find information on filing for a change of status through Form I-539 at this website. In matters concerning a change of status, it is best to consult legal counsel experienced in immigration law. To search for an immigration lawyer, the American Immigration Lawyers Association lawyer search website is an excellent resource.
